Current can only flow if there is a continuous connection from
the negative terminal through the bulb to the positive terminal.
This is only the case for Fig. (3).

Wires I
Two wires, A and B, are made of the
1) dA = 4 dB
same metal and have equal length,
2) dA = 2 dB
but the resistance of wire A is four
times the resistance of wire B. How
do their diameters compare?
3) dA = dB
4) dA = 1/2 dB
5) dA = 1/4 dB

Two wires, A and B, are made of the

same metal and have equal length,
2) dA = 2 dB
but the resistance of wire A is four
times the resistance of wire B. How
do their diameters compare?
3) dA = dB
4) dA = 1/2 dB
5) dA = 1/4 dB
The resistance of wire A is greater because its area is less than
wire B. Since area is related to radius (or diameter) squared,
the diameter of A must be two times less than B.

The voltage is provided at 120 V from the
outside. The light dimmer increases the
resistance and therefore decreases the current
that flows through the lightbulb.

Two lightbulbs operate at 120 V, but

Since P = V2 / R the bulb with the lower

Space Heaters I
1) heater 1
Heater 1 has twice the resistance
2) heater 2
of heater 2. Which one will give
3) both equally

Using P = V2 / R, the heater with the smaller resistance
will have the larger power output. Thus, heater 2 will
give off more heat.

5) you need to know the

Since the resistors are all equal,
the voltage will drop evenly
across the 3 resistors, with 1/3 of
9 V across each one. So we get a
3 V drop across each.

In the circuit below, what is the
2) zero
voltage across R1?
3) 6 V
4) 8 V
5) 4 V
The voltage drop across R1 has
to be twice as big as the drop
across R2. This means that V1 =
R1= 4 W
R2= 2 W
8 V and V2 = 4 V. Or else you
could find the current I = V/R =
(12 V)/(6 W) = 2 A, then use
12 V
Ohm’s Law to get voltages.
Follow-up: What happens if the voltage is doubled?

The voltage is the same (10 V) across each

As we add parallel resistors, the overall
resistance of the circuit drops. Since V =
IR, and V is held constant by the battery,
when resistance decreases, the current
must increase.

Since bulb B is bypassed by the wire,
the total resistance of the circuit
decreases. This means that the current

With the switch closed, the addition of
R2 to R3 decreases the equivalent

The same current must flow

On the LEFT, the current
splits equally, so I1 = I2. On
the RIGHT, more current will
go through R5 than R3 + R4
since the branch containing

When the switch is open, the point
between the bulbs is at 12 V. But so is
the point between the batteries. If
there is no potential difference, then
no current will flow once the switch is
closed!! Thus, nothing changes.

The left battery gives +2V, then
there is a drop through a 1W
resistor with current I1 flowing.
Then we go through the middle

4) all voltages are zero
The voltage across C1 is 10 V.
The combined capacitors
C2+C3 are parallel to C1. The
voltage across C2+C3 is also
10 V. Since C2 and C3 are in
series, their voltages add.
Thus the voltage across C2
and C3 each has to be 5 V,
which is less than V1.

We already know that the

voltage across C1 is 10 V
and the voltage across C2

all the capacitors, then since
